CHT Exam Prep 2025/2026 | 100+ Shoulder Questions on GH Stability, Rotator Cuff, Force Couples, Scapulohumeral Rhythm & Functional Anatomy

This A+ graded CHT prep document delivers 100+ expertly answered multiple-choice questions tailored for the 2025/2026 Certified Hand Therapist (CHT) exam, with a specialized focus on shoulder anatomy, biomechanics, muscular function, and clinical kinematics. It is designed to help you master shoulder-specific content that frequently appears in the CHT exam and in upper extremity rehabilitation practice. Key topics include: Glenohumeral ligament stability across ranges of motion (0°, 45°, 90° abduction with ER/IR) Shoulder joint anatomy: glenohumeral, acromioclavicular, sternoclavicular, scapulothoracic Functional actions of all major shoulder muscles, including rotator cuff, deltoids, traps, rhomboids, serratus anterior, pec major/minor, latissimus dorsi, and more Dynamic vs static GH stabilizers Rotator cuff insertions and function in joint compression and movement control Force-couple dynamics for scapular upward/downward rotation and shoulder motion Scapulohumeral rhythm details, including 2:1 GH to scapular movement ratios and clavicular mechanics Specific muscle innervation and roles in protraction, retraction, elevation, and depression This resource is ideal for: Candidates sitting for the Certified Hand Therapist (CHT) exam Occupational and physical therapy students focusing on orthopedics or upper limb rehab Practicing clinicians needing a refresher on functional shoulder anatomy and kinematics Professionals preparing for continuing education, credential renewal, or anatomy board review With detailed answers and high anatomical accuracy, this document reinforces both exam readiness and clinical proficiency, making it a must-have for anyone focused on upper limb rehabilitation.
